THUS FAR the Lord Has Helped Us....

For those of you that have followed our blog for more than a year, know that it's been a year since we lost Dave's brother to a farming accident, you can read more about that here - if you've just joined the blog.

This past weekend we joined Dave's siblings, parents, and Jodi as we all faced the one year anniversary of the accident. At a service on Saturday there was an opportunity to share your thoughts, memories, and things that have happened over the past year. Dave's dad shared something from 1 Samuel 7:12 that really seemed to summarize the weekend for our family. The verse is: Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen and called its name Ebenezer; for he said, "Thus far the LORD has helped us." It has been a year, and thus far the lord has helped each person make it through each day.

Dave and his dad built a cross to put in the field. It will probably stand there until long after we're all gone. Balloons were launched with a special message attached in memory of Chris - and encouraging anyone that might find it to visit a bible passage online, and to discover Christ in their life.

Here are some pictures from the weekend:

Mowing the Grass

I'm not sure what happened to my poll, but I wanted to let you all know that mowing the gras was the winner!! Okay, I'm just kidding, it wasn't winning... but, that is what I voted for! I love mowing the grass. :)

Well - I have some pictures to upload in the near future, so check back soon for a real topic in this slot.

Have an awesome Tuesday!!!

Johnny Cash Rolled Over

This guy, Adam Lambert, may have caused Johnny Cash to roll over in his grave last night. He sang, "Ring Of Fire" - which June Carter Cash actually wrote... is she still living?? Anyway - his "interpretation" was a disgrace. I hope he goes home tonight.

Did any of you readers care for his performance???

Results Have Been Thrown OUT!

So - after having a discussion with a good friend about leaving out some deserving "pop" choices from my poll... I've decided to throw out the current results and start with a new poll!

Please re-vote, and lets see if the big corporate companies still win, or not!?!

A splendid choice that was pointed out to me was Ginger Ale. I happen to love ginger ale, and even considered putting it on the poll - however, I thought I might be the only one to vote for it! My grandpa's favorite pop happens to be Canada Dry Ginger Ale - so, I certainly had a lot of that growing up, and I love it!

Okay - vote for your fav! :)
